“MDC delivered 15.8% sequential revenue growth from the third quarter of 2020, $190 million of Covenant EBITDA in 2020, up 5.3% from prior year and $90 million of net new business in 2020,” said Mark Penn, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MDC Partners. “The business continued to see a rebound from pandemic lows, with strong sequential improvement in revenue driven by double-digit growth in most client sectors led by Consumer Products, Technology and Healthcare. While COVID-19 headwinds remain, we expect the rebound to continue into 2021, with 7 to 9% organic revenue growth for the year.”
"Building upon MDC's transformation over the last two years, we recently announced a strategic business combination with The Stagwell Group, which unites the award-winning creative talent of MDC's network with the advanced technology platform of Stagwell, unleashing the power of Talent & Technology around the world.”
Frank Lanuto, Chief Financial Officer, added, “Despite lower revenue in 2020, we expanded Adjusted EBITDA margins by 250 basis points. We continued to lower our leverage, down to 4.4x, and delivered $35 million in cash flow from operations in the quarter, ending the year with $61 million in cash and no revolver borrowings.”
Fourth Quarter and Year-to-Date 2020 Financial Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $328.2 million versus $382.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decline of 14.1%. The effect on revenue of foreign exchange was positive 0.7%, the impact of non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net was negative 1.2%, and organic revenue decline was 13.7%. Organic revenue declined primarily due to reduced spending by clients in connection with COVID-19. Net revenue (revenue less billable costs), was $271.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 versus $314.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decline of 13.6%. The effect on net revenue of foreign exchange was positive 0.8%, the impact of non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net was negative 1.2%, and organic net revenue decline was 13.0%.
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 15.8% sequentially from the third quarter of 2020 as client spending activity increased following the initial decline in the third quarter.
Net New Business wins in the fourth quarter of 2020 totaled $29.5 million.
Net loss attributable to MDC Partners Inc. common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $237.1 million versus a net loss of $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of impairment charges and an income tax valuation allowance, as well as the decline in revenue. D iluted loss per share attributable to MDC Partners Inc. common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $3.23 versus diluted loss per share of $0.15 f or the fourth quarter of 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $47.5 million versus $57.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of 16.6%, primarily due to COVID-19 driven reductions in revenue. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of 2020 was 14.5%, down from 14.9% in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Revenue in 2020 was $1.20 billion versus $1.42 billion in 2019, a decline of 15.3%. The effect on revenue of foreign exchange due to the rising US Dollar was negative 0.1%, the impact of non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net was negative 1.3%, and organic revenue decline was 13.9%. Organic revenue declined primarily due to reduced spending by clients in connection with COVID-19. Net revenue (revenue less billable costs), was $1.02 billion in 2020 versus $1.19 billion in 2019, a decline of 13.9%. The effect on net revenue of foreign exchange was negative 0.2%, the impact of non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net was negative 1.4%, and organic net revenue decline was 12.3%.

Net New Business wins in 2020 totaled $90.3 million.
Net loss attributable to MDC Partners Inc. common shareholders in 2020 was $243.2 million, an increase versus a net loss of $17.6 million in 2019. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of impairment charges and an income tax valuation allowance, as well as the decline in revenue. Diluted loss per share attributable to MDC Partners Inc. common shareholders in 2020 was $3.34 versus a diluted loss per share of $0.25 in 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA in 2020 was $177.3 million versus $174.2 million in 2019, an increase of 1.8%. The improvement was primarily due to a reduction in expenses to combat the impact of COVID-19 on the business, partially offset by lower revenues. This led to a 250 basis point improvement in Adjusted EBITDA Margin in 2020 to 14.8% from 12.3% in 2019.
Covenant EBITDA for 2020 was $190.1 million versus $180.5 million in 2019, an increase of 5.3%. The change was primarily driven by the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to its reported results, MDC Partners has included in this earnings release certain financial results that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines as "non-GAAP financial measures." Management
Page 4

believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period to period comparisons of the Company's results. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following:
(1) Organic Revenue: “Organic revenue growth” and “organic revenue decline” refer to the positive or negative results, respectively, of subtracting both the foreign exchange and acquisition (disposition) components from total revenue growth. The acquisition (disposition) component is calculated by aggregating prior period revenue for any acquired businesses, less the prior period revenue of any businesses that were disposed of during the current period. The organic revenue growth (decline) component reflects the constant currency impact of (a) the change in revenue of the partner firms that the Company has held throughout each of the comparable periods presented, and (b) “non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net”. Non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net consists of (i) for acquisitions during the current year, the revenue effect from such acquisition as if the acquisition had been owned during the equivalent period in the prior year and (ii) for acquisitions during the previous year, the revenue effect from such acquisitions as if they had been owned during that entire year (or same period as the current reportable period), taking into account their respective pre-acquisition revenues for the applicable periods, and (iii) for dispositions, the revenue effect from such disposition as if they had been disposed of during the equivalent period in the prior year.
(2) Net New Business: Estimate of annualized revenue for new wins less annualized revenue for losses incurred in the period.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents Net income (loss) attributable to MDC Partners Inc. common shareholders plus or minus adjustments to operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred acquisition consideration adjustments, distributions from non-consolidated affiliates, and other items, net which includes items such as severance expense and other restructuring expenses, including costs for leases that will either be terminated or sublet in connection with the centralization of our New York real estate portfolio.
(4) Covenant EBITDA: Covenant EBITDA is a measure that includes pro forma adjustments for acquisitions, onetime charges, permitted dispositions and other items, as defined in the Company's Credit Agreement. We believe that the presentation of Covenant EBITDA is useful to investors as it eliminates the effect of certain non-cash and other items not necessarily indicative of a company’s underlying operating performance. In addition, the presentation of Covenant EBITDA provides additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenants in the Company's Credit Agreement.
Included in this earnings release are tables reconciling MDC Partners’ reported results to arrive at certain of these
non-GAAP financial measures.

•an inability to realize expected benefits of the proposed redomiciliation of the Company from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the State of Delaware (the “Redomiciliation”) and the subsequent combination of the Company’s business with the business of the subsidiaries of Stagwell Media LP (“Stagwell”) that own and operate a portfolio of marketing services companies (the “Business Combination” and, together with the Redomiciliation, the “Proposed Transactions”) or the occurrence of difficulties in connection with the Proposed Transaction;
•adverse tax consequences in connection with the Proposed Transactions for the Company, its operations and its shareholders, that may differ from the expectations of the Company, including that future changes in tax law, potential increases to corporate tax rates in the United States and disagreements with the tax authorities on the Company’s determination of value and computations of its tax attributes may result in increased tax costs;
•the occurrence of material Canadian federal income tax (including material “emigration tax”) as a result of the Proposed Transactions;
•the impact of uncertainty associated with the Proposed Transactions on the Company’s businesses;
•direct or indirect costs associated with the Proposed Transactions, which could be greater than expected;
•the risk that a condition to completion of the Proposed Transactions may not be satisfied and the Proposed Transactions may not be completed;
•the risk of parties challenging the Proposed Transactions or the impact of the Proposed Transactions on the Company’s debt arrangements;
•the Company’s ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients;
•reduction in client spending and changes in client advertising, marketing and corporate communications requirements;
•financial failure of the Company’s clients;
•the Company’s ability to retain and attract key employees;
•the Company’s ability to achieve the full amount of its stated cost saving initiatives;
•the Company’s implementation of strategic initiatives;
•the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its debt agreements and the Company’s ability to finance its contingent payment obligations when due and payable, including but not limited to those relating to redeemable noncontrolling interests and deferred acquisition consideration;

•the successful completion and integration of acquisitions which complement and expand the Company’s business capabilities; and
•foreign currency fluctuations.
Investors should carefully consider these risk factors and the additional risk factors outlined in more detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company’s other SEC filings.

(1) Organic revenue refers to the positive results of subtracting both the foreign exchange and acquisition (disposition) components from total revenue growth. The acquisition (disposition) component is calculated by aggregating prior period revenue for any acquired businesses, less the prior period revenue of any businesses that were disposed of during the current period. The organic revenue component reflects the constant currency impact of (a) the change in revenue of the partner firms which the Company has held throughout each of the comparable periods presented, and (b) “non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net”. Non-GAAP acquisitions (dispositions), net consists of (i) for acquisitions during the current year, the revenue effect from such acquisition as if the acquisition had been owned during the equivalent period in the prior year and (ii) for acquisitions during the previous year, the revenue effect from such acquisitions as if they had been owned during that entire year (or same period as the current reportable period), taking into account their respective pre-acquisition revenues for the applicable periods, and (iii) for dispositions, the revenue effect from such disposition as if they had been disposed of during the equivalent period in the prior year.

Prior periods presented have been recast to reflect the change in reportable segments.
